The aroma of musk has long been used in perfumery and cooking. The Elizabethans and Stuarts considered it to be an aphrodisiac. Originally it can from animal glands, but a number of plants also have the musk aroma. This recipe uses musk mallow seeds to flavour muffins, bringing back a long-lost spice sensation to the kitchen.

Ingredients:

3 tbsp butter
135g brown sugar
280g plain flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground musk mallow seeds
1 egg
240ml milk

Method:

Grease muffin tins then place 1/2 tsp butter and 1 tsp brown sugar in the base of each. Now sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and musk mallow seeds together in a bowl.

In a separate bowl beat together the egg, milk, butter an the remaining brown sugar. Add the flour mix, stirring to combine only until the flour is dampened. Use the mixture to fill the prepared muffin well no more than 3/4 full. Transfer immediately to an oven pre-heated to 210°C and bake for 20 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool in the tins for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Serve warm.
